Hollywood Beggars
Two things that were didactic about Sunday's Oscars: the self-congratulations for the openly political (read: leftist) nature of films in 2005 and the begging for people to head back to the theaters.
Only people in such a self-contained, self-referential echo-chamber of an industry could fail to make the connection between the two trends.
My prediction is that Hollywood as we know it will continue to fail in this regard but the demand for simply entertaining films is so huge that a separate industry, probably geographically diverse, will emerge to meet that demand.
